As he left the Kingdom Arena, the Gypsy King was filled with rage.
TYSON FURY seemed to be a part in a backstage brawl following Anthony Joshua’s victory over Francis Ngannou.
The Gypsy King saw his fellow British national’s crushing victory against his previous rival in Saudi Arabia early on Saturday morning.
Tyson Fury witnessed Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou square off at the ring.
After the fight, The Gypsy King went on an X-rated tirade backstage.
It’s unclear who the WBC heavyweight king was shouting at.
In the second round of their fight in Saudi Arabia, AJ dropped the former UFC heavyweight champion with a vicious overhand right as Fury, 35, was seated next to his wife, Paris.
And when he walked out of the Kingdom Arena, he seemed pumped up.
Backstage, the WBC heavyweight champion was seen on camera lamenting the disappearance of a person he had interacted with.
He said: “Has f***ed off, the useless c**t.”
It’s unknown who the furious Fury was talking about in the video, which has spread like wildfire on social media.
Boxing fans were quick to comment, with one saying: “He’s rattled. He knows the jig is up.”
Another said: “Fury feeling the pressure.”
And another said: “Rattled when the cameras were off him.”
Anthony Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round of their Saudi showdown.
One remarked: “He is FUMING.”
Another chimed in: “Running around in a waistcoat with no shirt, a dyed beard calling people useless cunts is quite an image.”
Joshua, 34, did his part to get a Battle of Britain between himself and Fury back on track with his destruction of Ngannou.
Fury must now register back-to-back wins over Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed fights later this year to ensure the fight happens.
He said: “I’m sure Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say something about that.
“I had a s*** performance against Ngannou. AJ did absolutely fantastic and lit him up with a right hand.
“If he fights me after I beat Usyk twice then it will be a different game.”
Joshua, however, refused to be drawn on a historic domestic dust-up with his long-time rival, telling iFL TV: “F**k Tyson Fury.”

Following Anthony Joshua’s victory over Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury has been suggested as a possible opponent.
Francis Ngannou has shared his prediction for the heavyweight champion between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Joshua prevailed in the second round in Saudi Arabia, sending Ngannou to the mat three times before the referee stepped in to terminate the fight in Joshua’s favor.
After 31 professional fights—25 of which ended in knockouts—the 34-year-old has won 28 of them and lost three.
Despite the fact that the 37-year-old defeated the Gypsy King in a contentious split decision in their last battle, which took place against Fury, Ngannou, a former UFC star, has lost both of his professional boxing matches. His most recent loss came against Joshua.
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who oversees Joshua’s career, stated following the fight that he would want to see his boxer face the winner of the impending heavyweight match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who had defeated Joshua twice.
Hearn remarked in an interview with DAZN, “I’m very proud of him because there was a lot of pressure.”
“He would face the victor of Fury vs Usyk if we won this battle. Here we have the world’s best heavyweight contender.
“Tyson Fury, please defeat Usyk so that you may have the greatest bout in sports history. He is an encouragement to young people as a warrior.
“What I predicted came to pass. Francis Ngannou was destroyed by him. I am really excited for him to defeat Tyson Fury because he is a beast.”
Although Fury acknowledges that Joshua “did absolutely fantastic” in his victory over Ngannou, he cautioned the Olympic gold medallist that facing AJ following the Gypsy King’s victory against Usyk will be a “different game.”
Ngannou is well-qualified to provide his opinion on who he believes would win if the two fighters were to square off in the ring because he has lost to both Fury and now Joshua.
And after explaining how the Watford-born boxer beat him, Ngannou said that, despite his uncertainty, he would offer the battle to Joshua right now.
After his defeat, Ngannou remarked on iFL TV, “I don’t know, I would give it to AJ for right now.”
“I believe he picked the ideal moment. Most of all, it was about the time.”
If Fury defeats Usyk, it would undoubtedly set up a highly anticipated matchup with Joshua—one that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
One of the most anticipated boxing bouts of the year is Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua. One analyst believes that, should the championship battle materialize, it would not really take place in the UK, where the combatants are originally from.
For more than seven years, heavyweight boxing fans in Britain and across the globe have longed to see the current heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, and the former heavyweight title holder, Anthony Joshua, finally make amends. And the majority thought it would happen in Fury’s nation of origin.
However, Dr. Rob Wilson, an expert in sports finance and an economics professor at Sheffield Hallam University, thinks that rather than being in the UK, the planned bout would likely happen in Saudi Arabia or Las Vegas, Nevada.
In an interview with Grosvenor Sport, he named income growth as the primary element that will shift the conflict away from their nation of origin.
“Even if it was 10 years ago that fight would probably not be happening in the UK, it will go to a much bigger market that can get driven by PPV. Saudi is now just battling with Las Vegas for the chance to stage the fight and get the PPV money for the top boxers in the world,” Wilson said.
Wilson is right when he says that there has never been a top-10 pay-per-view match held at Wembley Stadium. On the other hand, for many years, the MGM Grand Garden Arena and Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas have hosted a number of the most popular championship bouts.
Saudi Arabia has also actively sought to expand into the boxing world, as seen by their current schedule of bouts.
Given that Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia hosted Fury and Joshua’s two most recent fights, it stands to reason that their next big heavyweight matchup would take place there as well.
Ben Shalom provides a preview of Sunday’s domestic bout between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke in his most recent exclusive talkSPORT.com piece.
This Saturday, in just his ninth professional fight, Frazer Clarke will take on Fabio Wardley for the Lonsdale belt, making history as the fastest-ever British heavyweight champion.
Wardley defends his British and Commonwealth titles against Clarke on March 31
By comparison, it took Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 15 fights to get to this point.
Nobody can accuse Clarke of moving slowly, his rise has been unprecedented.
Some will say this opportunity has come too soon.
But for me, everything is on course. We wanted him to become British champion within 10 fights.
He has the chance to do that early and then move on to bigger and better things.
Where the winner goes
The winner of this fight finds themselves in a great position.
Fury and Joshua won the British title in their fifteenth pro fights – Clarke fights for it in his ninth.
There will be several households, who don’t usually watch boxing, tuning in for this fight and that is when pay-per-view stars are created.
If Clarke gets his hand raised then we will be targeting blockbuster nights for him.
He is one of those boxers who struggles to get up for the fights that he doesn’t feel he will be tested in.
That comes from having a long amateur career and being in there with the best names constantly.
He wants to get right up there whether that is the British scene or the world scene after this fight.
There will be no turning back after Wardley.
The ultimate proving ground
Clarke opens up as an underdog with the bookies.
I can sit here and speculate about how far he can go in the pro game.
But the truth is I’ve never seen him in a twelve-round fight in front of a packed-out O2 Arena against an opponent who has the capability to knock him out.
I’m confident in Clarke’s ability given the number of fights and the level of opposition he has faced in the amateurs.
However, this is a totally different beast. He is going to have to show maturity, he is going to have to show composure, he is going to have to show mental strength.
His talent is undeniable. Now, has to prove that he can do it on the big nights.
Anthony Joshua has been warned that he has no chance of beating Tyson Fury.
AJ enjoyed a positive weekend when he looked back to his best during his victory over Otto Wallin on the Day of Reckoning’s main event.
Joshua stopped Wallin in the fifth round with a mature, dominant performance in Riyadh.
He was expected to announce a blockbuster fight with Deontay Wilder soon after, but that looks to be off after the American was surprisingly beaten by Joseph Parker.
It sets up the prospect of another world title fight against either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk – with the two facing off for the undisputed world heavyweight title on February 17.

Joshua’s performance on Saturday led to one supporter heaping praise on him before comparing his victory over Wallin to the Gypsy King’s triumph over the Swedish heavyweight.
They posted on X, formerly Twitter: ‘AJ smokes the guy that bloodied Fury ridiculously. In the same night Wilder gets easily beaten by Parker, a man AJ handily beat when he was a world champ. Interesting how this is playing out.’
This was in reference to Fury’s victory over Wallin by unanimous decision in 2019 after battling on with a nasty gash above his eye.
However, Andy Lee – who coached Parker for his win against Wilder and also trains Fury – took umbrage to the post and hit back.
He replied: ‘What’s the motivation behind this tweet? Hating on a man who’s done nothing but win. Winning fights has a lot to do with timing. No one will beat Tyson.’
Lee, a former boxer, then further defended Fury after the Gyspy King was accused of ducking fights against the likes of Joshua and Usyk in the past.
‘I know Tyson has done all he can and exceeded to make both these fights. Whatever gets put out in the media is different from what’s really happening,’ Lee replied.

Fury’s clash with Usyk will see him return to the ring after his narrow victory over Francis Ngannou in October, where he won by a single point in a controversial decision.
And Joshua – who will be ringside for the blockbuster fight in the New Year – has backed the Ukrainian to triumph.
He said, as quoted by The Mirror: ‘I think it’s gonna be a really, really good fight. I’m going to be straight up, I’m leaning towards Usyk, but who knows?
‘They’re both at the top of their game. I wish them well. I hope they have a great training camp.’
Tyson Fury has been told he risks being disqualified during his much-anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
Originally, the pair were due to fight in February but the bout was called off after Fury suffered a cut above the eye during a sparring session.
As a result, the fight was rescheduled to take place on May 18 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of the fight, Fury has been warned by his former opponent Steve Cunningham that he could be disqualified against Usyk.

He told World Boxing News: “I believe Ngannou only looked as good as he did fighting Fury because Fury didn’t take fighting an MMA guy seriously. Ngannou does have unbelievable power, though. He landed a clean shot on Fury, who wasn’t in shape at all. I was surprised at that but not at the fact that Fury got up and outpointed him.
“I think Usyk wins by decision against Fury. Either that or Fury gets disqualified. Fury’s going to have to lean and lay all over Usyk to tire him down as he does usually. I think the referee will be alerted to this before the fight [by team Usyk] and Fury will lose points.”
It has been expected that if Fury manages to beat Usyk, a fight against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua could finally happen.

Speaking about a potential bout with Joshua, Fury previously said: “I’m sure that Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say about that given he beat him twice.
Tyson Fury rips into Oleksandr Usyk during press conference
“For the actual real boxing, it’s me and Usyk who fight for the undisputed heavyweight world championship of the world. I had a s*** performance against Ngannou, that’s what a boxer should have done with him, but if he fights next year it’ll be a different game.”
Last time out, Fury had to dig deep to get the better of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, with the boxing champion coming out on top via decision.
Gypsy King and Usyk have a two-fight contract, but there may be a way to break it.
By dominating Oleksandr Usyk, TYSON FURY could increase his prospects of facing Anthony Joshua.
On May 18, in Saudi Arabia, Fury will take on Usyk in the first four-belt unification fight in the heavyweight category.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are still associated.
Additionally, AJ will have to wait to fight because the two are signed to a straight-forward rematch immediately following.
However, Fury’s Hall of Fame US promoter Bob Arum thinks the rematch might be canceled if the Gypsy King defeats Usyk sufficiently.
Furthermore, it would let Joshua, 34, to step in and start a Battle of Britain match earlier than anticipated.
“I think the knock on Joshua has been that he’d lost his confidence,” Arum stated to the Daily Mail. A warrior is greatly lessened if he lacks confidence.
“Now Joshua seems to be regaining his confidence, and if that continues Joshua will be a very dangerous fighter that could compete with anybody.
“What happens if Fury-Usyk turns out to be a classic? A fight that is so exciting and so thrilling that the public wants to see it again.
“Then that would certainly trump a Joshua fight, and contractually, it’s a fight that has to happen.
“Now, what happens if it’s a one-sided fight and Fury wins the fight?
“Then maybe everybody can sit down with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and work out some arrangement to go right to Fury-Joshua.
“If Usyk wins the fight, I don’t think there would be that much demand for an Usyk-Joshua fight because after all they fought twice and Usyk beat him twice.
A body language expert has weighed in on Bianca Censori‘s bizarre pillow accessory, revealing what the unique outfit addition says about her state of mind – while also detailing the secret move Kanye West made that means he ‘sexually approves’ of his wife.
This week, Kayne, 46, and wife Bianca, 29, caught the attention of fans when they made a show-stopping appearance when they touched down in Florence, Italy.
Bianca modeled a particularly eye-popping ensemble for her arrival in Europe, wearing a shiny white thong bodysuit – while carrying a large white pillow over her chest in an apparent nod to the purple pillow accessory she was seen sporting during the couple’s Italian jaunt last year.
The addition of the pillow raised many an eyebrow, with some questioning what the accessory was for and why Bianca appears to attached to the puffy home decor items.
Now, body language expert Judi James has shared some unique insight into Bianca’s unique style choice – while laying bare what the couple’s latest public appearance says about the status of their relationship.

Bianca – who works as the head of architecture at Kanye’s Yeezy brand – showed off her incredible figure in a shiny white thong bodysuit that left her long legs on full display and highlighted her pert derrière.

She completed the outfit with thigh-high black leather boots with open toes.
Her raven tresses were slicked down in her signature chic bun.
Meanwhile Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband was covered up, wearing a white zip-up hoodie and a pair of matching sweatpants.
The Donda musician held one protective arm around his wife, while clutching a stack of papers with his other hand.
The father-of-four finalized his outfit with white sneakers.
According to Judi – who frequently lifts the lid on the meaning behind celebrities movements – the couple’s decision to sport matching all-white ensembles could actually have been a nod to Kanye’s wedding to ex-wife Kim, which took place in Florence ten years ago.
She said: ‘Almost ten years to the day since Kanye married Kim in Florence in one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the decade he’s back with his current wife Bianca and they seem to be making a rather controversial nod to the anniversary by both appearing clad in bridal white outfits.

The non-verbal communication pro admitted that the rapper’s hand – which was placed on Bianca’s hip in one snap – showed signs of sexual tension
‘This looks like statement dressing as well as statement-making body language. The couple present as a matching duo with Kanye swapping his top to toe black fabrics for a more eye catching white combo that reveals his face and which looks chosen to compliment Bianca’s body stocking.’
But according to Judi, while Kanye’s outfit may have alluded to his former spouse, his body language showed that he was interested in nobody but his current wife.
Judi told DailyMail.com: ‘He’s also more tactile. While Bianca walked out alone with the first air bag fashion, this time there seems to be more romantic connection signals between them with Kanye at one point placing a hand on his wife’s hip in a signal of sexual approval and attraction.’
Bianca’s look drew comparisons to a previous ensemble, in which she went topless while holding a purple cushion across her chest amid the couple’s controversial 2023 trip to Europe, which sparked accusations of indecent exposure.
However, Judi believes that the beauty’s favorite accessory is more than just a prop to cover up her cleavage.
Judi offered up that Kayne’s wife could be using the pillow for a sense of ‘comfort’ and safety.

No strangers to scandal, Bianca and Kanye have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing. (pictured together in 2023)
‘Bianca’s body language suggests a slightly more vulnerable air and she looks happy to keep close to her husband, hugging the cushion more as a comfort blanket or buffer to the rest of the world,’ she explained.
No strangers to scandal, the couple has continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca’s barely-there looks sparking fury from locals.
At the time, her sheer and mesh outfits, which left her breasts clearly visible, were described by social media users as ‘disrespectful’ in a country known for its conservative Catholic heritage.
Some even called for the racy duo to be arrested after they were spotted enjoying an amorous moment on a boat, with Kanye exposing his bare buttocks in front of gawking tourists.
Images of the couple showed the American rapper seated at the back of the river taxi while Bianca placed her head in his lap.
Online critics have argued that the flesh-baring display constituted ‘public indecency.’
The scandalous appearances have also sparked concern from the architect’s family – who were said to have been ‘shunned’ while the two were in Italy.
Her family previously revealed to DailyMail.com that they felt ‘ignored’ by Bianca.
Kanye has reportedly issued a set of rules for Bianca to live by, including specific foods she can eat and what she can wear, a source close to the Australian architect has claimed.

Bianca and Kanye’s Florence trip comes a decade after he tied the knot to ex-wife Kim Kardashian in 2014 in the same city (seen)
Sources claimed that Bianca has ‘no mind of her own anymore’ and instead simply ‘obeys’ the controversial rapper, who also goes by the name ‘Ye’, because he has convinced her they have ‘royal’ status.
‘Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,’ the source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.
‘She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.’
‘A few of her friends were finally able to reach her but she wasn’t interested in talking, nor was she interested in anyone’s concerns for her,’ a close friend told DailyMail.com.
Bianca’s loved ones are also said to be concerned her husband Kanye is ‘dragging her into the adult film world’ and using her to promote his new Yeezy Porn venture, insiders claim.
Kim Kardashian alluded to her family’s connection to the late O.J. Simpson in a preview for next week’s edition of The Kardashians.
On the Hulu reality series – which was filmed last autumn prior to Simpson’s death at 76 last month – the 43-year-old star explained in a confessional segment how a jury duty obligation was interfering with her birthday plans.
‘It’s my birthday week and I’ve been called to do jury duty, said the Los Angeles native, who shares an October 21 birthday with fellow celebs Doja Cat and Amber Rose.
Kim made a reference to her late father Robert Kardashian’s work on the late O.J. Simpson’s ‘Dream Team’ of attorneys, saying, ‘I feel like there’s some kind of O.J. connection that could get me out of jury duty.’

It’s the second reference to Simpson – who was acquitted in the 1994 double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and friend Ronald Goldman – Kim has made this month.
She also alluded to Simpson during her May 5 set at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady in Los Angeles, which came after Simpson’s April 10 death from cancer.
In addressing Brady, she said, ‘Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you – but I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players.’
Kim was seen on multiple days last fall around her birthday at the Van Nuys Courthouse in Van Nuys, California, serving out her jury duty in a murder case, and was ultimately dismissed.
The reality star took part in a session in which she and other potential members of the jury pool were asked questions by attorneys for the prosecution and defense, but was not asked any questions directly, sources told TMZ at the time.
Kim mingled with other jurors and was seen taking in snacks in the hallway amid breaks in the proceedings, and had members of her Hulu crew filming as she fulfilled her civic duty.
It was not clear if the jury duty service did cause Kim to ultimately alter her birthday plans, but she did get to enjoy a meal with family and friends at the Beverly Hills, California restaurant Funke last October 20.
In addition to relatives such as her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner, Kim was joined by celeb friends such as Kimora Lee Simmons, Hailey Bieber and Ivanka Trump.

Simpson’s relatives confirmed his passing via social media April 11, saying in a post on Twitter/X, ‘On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.’
Kim chat about Simpson with David Letterman on his Netflix series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction in October of 2020, explaining the complicated impact the double murder had on her family.
Kris was close friends with Nicole, Kim said, while Robert was close with O.J. and a member of his legal team.
Kim said she recalled her mother and O.J. ‘getting into it’ on the phone when he called her from jail on one occasion.
‘My mom was extremely vocal on her feelings – she believed that her friend was murdered by him and that was really traumatizing for her,’ Kim said. ‘And then we’d go to my dad’s house and it was a whole other situation there.
‘We didn’t really know what to believe or whose side to take as kids, because we didn’t want to hurt one of our parents … it tore my family apart, I’d say, for the whole time of the trial.
